one. Everything in the social line seems
to be on the "wil be" list and from now
on the social world promises to be bright
| and lively. Quite number Of entertain.
ments are on the tapis for the near future,
among which are the Masonic ball and
the Sisters fair. The most prominent
events of the past week were the Knights of
Pythias ball and the Barmon -Seitenbach
wedding. A record of the events of the

KNIGHT of rlu>s BALL,
On Thanksgiving ey, In1 the Knights of
! pythias gave theinrnnual ball in the opera
house, It. is we'll known fact that when
iur Nurrhv societies Of our city have An.
urnucci tUrlr social entertainments they
have always met with Il hearty response,
and, indeed, the ball was Ivy no means an
/ exception. As early a. : O'Clock the stair
| way echoed the coming of many happy
| pairs, and at O'clock when the line was
formed for the grand march, over 100 cou-
pies graCed the smooth aud gltstcning floor
Of the beautiful room. Tho balcony was
| tastefully decorated with the stars and
stripes, and in the early part of the evening
the beautiful ensign Of the order lay I'M
| firled in the middle of the room. The
genial manager, Mr.. Harry Hayward, as Is
his wont. was very thoughtful of the COM
fort of his guests, and nothing happened
| during the evening that marred In the
least the pleasure of those present The la.
dies were allowed the privilege of
using the cozy dressing rooms, and
the gentlemen the room in the
rear OF the theater as hat and coat room.
| Much time had been spent with the floor,
| which is a most excellent one in every. re-
spect. From the balcony and lower floor
many viewed the happy, event, and as the
| joyful gathering, dotted here and there with
the uniformed knights, measured their
graceful steps to the Inspiring strains of the
orchestra the conscious anxiety of partci.
pating was visible on many faces. About
midnight the pleasure was suspended, and
the hungry crowd INDUCED themselves in
devouring the danties of Thanksgiving
supper, which had been gorgeously pre-
! pared by the different restaurants. After
this palatable exercise dancing was resumed
and continued until early morning, when
the happy gathering gradually dispersed,
| all being highly pleased with the ball and
lavish in their praise of the knights as en-
tertainers. The ball was q complete sue.
cess, and the order net Il very neat sum.

TitANRsGlvtNG AT THE CHURCHES.
A very prominent feature of thanksgiv-
ing day was the services held at All Saints
church. The ladies of the church had
spent much time in decorating the walls
and altars,'with fruits and cereals of many
varieties and indeed the tasteful manner in
which they were arranged would have done
credit to the temple of the ancient goddess
after whom they were named. The flower
of society was well represented and al.
. though the editice was crowded to its ut
: most, a more cultured audience has never
graced its interior The pastor was in hi:
happiest mood and made very eloquent
and impressive address dwelling briefly and
brilliantly on the gems of anksgivlnt
thought. The musical programme was o
. | high order and was rendered in most ar
= tistc and pleasing manner. The organ vol
untary with orchestra and the solo, by Mrs
| +. IL. Mason, were perhaps the best selec
tions Of the service. The programme a
$ rendered was AS follows:
. Organ voluntary with orchestra "Staba
e Mater"
e Professional by mn, 3Ol.
Thanksgiving chant, Dupuis.
Gloria Patri--Baumback's collection.
TIE Deum.
Jubilate Deo- Anonymous.
Hymn 42G.
Kyrie-Gilbert.
Gloria Tibi-Baumback's collection.
Otfertory solo with orchestral accom-
paniment by Mrs. +. II. Mason.
Sentence at the. presentation-Hum'
phreys.
Retrocessional hymn 800.
f Observation-Disclosures.
e Al THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
. A union of the other churches held ses
sions in the above church before larg'
! and intelligent audience. The service
were not as interesting as those at the Epis
copal church, the programme being OF
more solemn nature. Society was we'll rep
resented and the services were listened t
| with muon interest. The following was the
programme ofthe day.
